SUPERIOR, Neb., August 5.-Crop pros
poets were excellent until within few days
past except small grain, which was destroyed
by bugs early in the season. The hot WIND

day which will greatly benefit late corn. On
the whole there will be about one-third OF
crop of corn. The increase of acreage OF
small grain is 80 per cent; corn, 10 per cent.
There will probably be corn sufficient to sup
ply the demand for feed There will be no
stock cattle fattened here this season.
